Understanding a mismatch
Why Pokémon GO Weather Can Differ from Forecasts
A weather app, the sky you observe and the Pokémon GO icon do not always agree. Official support notes that in-game weather can sometimes be incorrect or unavailable.
What can explain a difference?
Applications may use different sources, update times or forecast areas. Real conditions can also change. These factors can contribute to a mismatch, but do not establish the cause of any particular result.
How to compare correctly
- Record the precise location and local time of your search.
- Compare PogoWeather’s estimated category with the Pokémon GO icon for the same place and time.
- Check that the categories match: for example, Cloudy and Partly Cloudy are different.
- For a future forecast, search again closer to the time before drawing a conclusion.
How to report a mismatch
Use the contact page to share the city, date, local time, selected Pokémon, estimated weather and in-game weather. This helps examine the case without publishing internal settings.
